My family and I have been using Blurb to create photobooks for a while now, and we love it. The quality of the product is great.
However, the editing options are limited once the file is uploaded and I had to make any changes in different software and then re-upload.
Good website, all function showed clearly and easy to find. The function is very good for the target user.
Users may not be able to achieve certain design elements or layouts, which could be a disadvantage for some projects.
I recently used Blurb to create a portfolio and was impressed with the quality of the printed product. The option to upload a PDF was easy to use and the print turnaround was fast.
This is my only complaint. I hope Blurb can lower their printing costs.
Blurb is a great way to create photobooks, and we love that the whole family can use it for different purposes.
Its my first place fir creating big content like books, magazines, Newspaper, and other content and also add to them amazing designs and creative visuals.
Online integration sometimes being a handicap for people that are living in areas with poor internet coverage.
And complex enough to do great stuff when you are more comfortable with the software. It is reliable and solid.
It has a hard learning curve and has limited features that require you to go to another app.
I love the way i can edit text and books with a lot of details and different styles, i love how its so easy to use and how the software is not to heavy on my computer.
That said, the learning curve for can be steep for someone who has no experience with design products, particularly those of the Adobe Suite.
Used InDesign for many years, both before and after the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription platform. An excellent program, always improving.
The expense and Adobe's inability to play nice with operating systems has always been a pain, and an expensive one.
Simon: Hi, I'm Simon. I am a Director of Technology. Today, I'm giving Adobe InDesign five out of five stars. Click below for more reviews. So with Adobe InDesign, there are a lot of problems that I'm able to solve by utilizing this application. For instance, our school utilizes the application to create desktop newsletters. So these go out to our families, and I use Adobe's InDesign to create these newsletters. So it does a good job of making it easy for me to put together all the text and graphics in one place, and make it look good for the families once we send it out. So it's really easy to use Adobe InDesign. You don't have to have a lot of advanced desktop publishing skills. Really, you just have to have a niche for creating online materials or hard copy materials, such as newspapers and newsletters. And as long as you have an interest in that, it's pretty easy to get on top of all the different tools that Adobe InDesign has to offer. So there aren't many things I'd change about Adobe InDesign, but one thing would be the layout of the tool bars in the desktop publishing view. There's a lot of tools to use, and if they were a little more easier to find, I think that would help make my job a little bit easier. And it would make my job that much faster to get that product out to our families.
